My cat has a bloated stomach. He seems to be in pain every time I touch it. It's very firm and seems to be sticking out near his rib cage. I know surgery is necessary. How can I help?

What is canine stomach flip?
Canine stomach-flip is a serious medical condition that tends to affect large, deep-chested dogs such as Mastiffs, Great Danes and Boxers. However, any breed of dog may be affected. Your veterinarian will probably refer to it as "gastric torsion" or "gastric volvulus", depending upon how exactly the stomach is flipped. Generally the history of gastric torsion is your dog eats a large meal very quickly then goes to run and play. Within a couple of hours, your dog acts painful and his stomach appears ballooned out or distended. What has happened is the stomach has flipped over itself, cutting off the flow of food from the stomach to the intestines. In addition, if the twist is bad enough, the blood supply to the stomach may be cut off and the nerves may be pinched or damaged. This is a medical emergency that will require immediate surgery to save your dog's life. The faster your dog is on the operating table and the stomach gets flipped back around the proper way, the better your dog's chances of surviving.
